well... here's a new story for ya... I was at my birthday dinner recently with my family including my father and step mom. We decided to go to Ryan's Steak house (for those that don't know, it's a all you can eat buffet style steak house).. while loading my plate one lady turned around and saw me standing there in my kilt... if it hadn't been for pure luck and quick hands, she would have spilled her plate of food on the floor... guess from now on she'll not be so surprised to see a guy wearing a kilt... of course I got the normal stares and heard the normal whispers... no big deal...  after dinner I was standing outside talking to my dad before he had to head home, when suddenly he just gets a HUGE case of the giggles.. it seems that a lady walked out of the restaurant looked... stopped... looked again... then had to stop and look 3 or 4 more times before she got to her car... this was the first time my dad had seen the reaction that people have to a guy in a kilt... he loved it..and now he understands one of the reasons I wear one...
